Journal Requirements Observatory · v1.5
Choose two journals from the maintained pilot. Each card preserves the official source, date checked, and evidence status, so you can see a concrete difference without mistaking it for a recommendation or a complete checklist.
This is a practical comparison aid, not a journal fit or acceptance assessment. Verify the current publisher instructions before you submit.
Focused comparison
Use this only to identify the package-changing difference in the pilot records. It does not rate journals, estimate acceptance, or replace the live author instructions.

Featured package difference
Include a data availability statement; the journal says it will cover Dryad archiving charges for published papers when authors use Dryad.
Checked against the journal author-guidelines page.
Source reviewedHow to use this responsibly
Open the live publisher page for each selected journal. It remains the administrative authority, even where the pilot record is marked verified.
The observable difference is deliberately narrow: one package-changing requirement per journal, not a complete set of author instructions.
